NEW DELHI: The IFSO unit of Delhi Police has registered an FIR in connection with a 'deepfake' video of actress Rashmika Mandanna, an official said on Saturday, adding that they have asked Meta to disclose the URL (Uniform Resource Locator) of the account responsible for sharing the video on social media.
The FIR was registered under sections 465 (forgery) and 469 (forgery for the purpose of harming reputation) of the Indian Penal Code. It also invokes sections 66C and 66E of the Information Technology Act.
This legal action was prompted by a complaint from the Delhi Commission for Women (DCW), which took suo-moto cognizance of the 'deepfake' video involving the actress.
"After our notice, Delhi Police has registered an FIR in the @IAmRashmika fake video case. The accused will be arrested soon," DCW chief Swati Maliwal wrote on X. (IANS)
